Graceful, symbolic, and exquisitely detailed, the Lladró Hina Dolls – Empress Sculpture is a refined High Porcelain creation inspired by one of Japan’s most cherished cultural traditions. Produced in a limited edition of 1,000 pieces worldwide, this exceptional work is designed to become a treasured family heirloom.
Sculpted by acclaimed artist Alfredo Llorens, the Empress represents a central figure of Hina Ningyō, the ceremonial arrangement of dolls displayed during Hina Matsuri on March 3rd, a festival dedicated to wishing young girls happiness, health, and prosperity. Traditionally presented upon a tiered platform, the Empress forms a symbolic pair with the Hina Dolls – Emperor, together embodying harmony, refinement, and imperial dignity.
Crafted in gloss-finish porcelain and enhanced with metallic lustre, this sculpture displays extraordinary attention to detail. The richness of the Empress’s garments reflects the ceremonial attire of the Japanese imperial court during the Heian period, with intricate decorative motifs inspired by embroidered textiles and traditional Japanese fabrics that simulate Damascus silk. The deep, intense color palette surpasses Lladró’s classic tones, introducing dramatic hues applied entirely by hand through a painstaking, multi-step process that gives the piece remarkable depth and brilliance.
The sculpture is presented with a fabric pillow and tassels of golden thread, adding authenticity and elegance to this exceptional cultural tribute.
